-snip-

Embassy Suites, part of the Hilton Hotels Corp., pulled advertising on CBS' site because of complaints, company spokeswoman Kendra Walker told TVGuide.com. The company was not an advertiser on Letterman's show.

"We received lots of e-mails from concerned guests and we assessed that the statement that he made was offensive enough to our guests and prospective guests that we elected to take the ads down," Walker said. She declined to release the cost of the ads.

CBS declined to comment Tuesday.

This is good news. The blatant double standard that the media has shown on this issue deserves a response that can be felt.

Good stuff. Hitting them in the pocket book is always the best way to see results.

Do more than just cheer. Make sure Embassy Suites gets your business.

I travel on a regular basis, and Embassy Suites just went to the top of my 'preferred' list for accomodations.

Bravo Embassy Suites!

Mars knows chocolate sales are nothing to snicker at. The company makes such worldwide favorites as M&M's, Snickers, and the Mars bar. Its other confections include 3 Musketeers, Dove, Milky Way, Skittles, Twix, and Starburst sweets; Combos and Kudos snacks; Uncle Ben's rice; and pet food under the names Pedigree, Sheba, and Whiskas. Mars also provides office beverage services and makes drink vending equipment. The Mars family (including siblings and retired company CEO Forrest Mars Jr., chairman John Franklyn Mars, and VP Jacqueline Badger Mars) owns the highly secretive firm, making the family one of the richest in the US. In 2008 the company acquired the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company.

This is how we will get Letterman, because most likely CBS will not have the guts to fire him, but if we take away their business, they will have to do something. Remember, CBS like any other big corporation, only cares about money, if they lose money, heads will roll
